tracking of balloons in flight. Aerial observation of the balloons greatly assists interpretation of performance data. Better radio transmission of data is needed from the balloon. IV. FUTURE WORK Plastic balloons have been obtained from both General Mills and H. A. Smith, Inc. and will be flown on the next field trip to Alamogordo in July. Arrangements have been completed to obtain as large a supply as is necessary of these balloons and tests will be conducted frequently to perfect a technique of maintaining a balloon at nominal constant altitude.
